What are the biggest mistakes that Indians make?

印度人犯的最大错误是什么?

以下是Quora网友的评论：

Sree Ranjani R

1. Unwanted comparison

1.令人生厌的攀比

Translation: You got 85%? But how did Sharma ji's child get 90%?

Dear parent, such comparisons will never boost up your child. It will rather invest the 'May be I can do only this much' thought into their mind at a very younger age.

换句话说：你考了85%？但夏尔马·吉的孩子为啥考了90%？

亲爱的父母，这样的攀比对你的孩子完全无益。还会在他们很小的时候就把“也许我只能做到这样”的想法灌输给他们。

2. Filtering the education system based on caste

2.基于种姓的教育系统

Talent? Equality? L.O.L

人才？平等？简直就是个笑话

3. Money!!

3.钱！！

Translation:

Police: Okay there are no documents. How much money you have?

Man: Sir, just Rs.5.

Police: Okay, give that and you can leave.

翻译：

警察：没有证件是吧。你有多少钱？

男：先生，只有5卢比。

警察：行，给我吧，你可以走了。

Poor people are forced to give what they have while rich people can just make a call, and escape the situation with a special salute from the Police.

Man, why do you need 1 lakh donation for an L.K.G seat? Because our school is in India.

穷人被迫献出他们的一切，而富人可以动动手指头打个电话，就能受到警察的特别礼遇，轻松脱身。

伙计，为什么要捐款10万卢比才能买到一个L.K.G的席位？因为我们的学校就在印度。

4. Spoiling others life just by rumours

4. 用谣言摧毁别人的生活

Women 1 to Women 2: 'Oh my God. Do you know? I saw A's daughter drinking coffee with a guy. Now who will marry her? She has spoiled the reputation of her father in the society'.

Women 2 to Women 3: I heard this from Women 1 that A's daughter is roaming with a guy in public. She has spoiled the reputation of her father in the society. Who will marry her?

Women 3 to Women 'n': You know how bad this A's daughter is? She is having affairs with some guy before marriage.

女1对女2：“哦，我的上帝。你知道吗？我看到A的女儿和一个男人一起喝咖啡。现在谁还敢娶她呢？她把她父亲的名声都给毁了。

女2对女3说：我听女1说，A的女儿和一个男人在公共场合闲逛呢。她把她父亲的名声都给毁了。现在谁还敢娶她呢？

女3对女n：你知道这个A的女儿有多不检点吗？她结婚前和一个男人有私情呢。

The rumour keeps multiplying where as there will be no one who says 'Stop it. I know about her. Better do your work'. And even if there are such people, their opinion will not be passed on as such people are 1 in 100.

谣言不断升级，因为没有人会喊“别瞎说。我知道她的情况。你管好自己就行。”即便有这样的人存在，别人也不会在意他们的想法，因为这种好心人太少了。

5. Worrying about the society more than their children

5. 比起孩子的幸福，他们更担心别人的看法

请求:我想和我心仪的男孩/女孩结婚。

I be like, I have not even uttered a word!!

Living life your way is re-spelled as SOCIETY.

This list goes on and on. Will add more as it crosses my mind :)

我一个字都还没说呢！！

按照自己的方式生活就是反社会。

这样的例子不胜枚举。等我想到其他的，我会再来补充。

Krishna Suryakanth

Catch a tiger, give shelter and provide meat three times a day, you will see the tiger turning into a fat cat.

Extreme conditions in the forests make a tiger a tiger. Your kid is like a tiger. If you protect your kid from all the problems and give everything he needs, he will start whining, instead of wng.

Let your kids cry. Let them fall. Let them face problems. A little suffering is actually good and healthy. Stand behind them and support instead of standing in front of them.

抓到老虎后，给它一个舒舒服服的地方，照着一天三餐地喂它吃肉，老虎也会变成肥猫。

森林里的恶劣环境造就了老虎的一身本领。你的孩子就是老虎。如果你把孩子保护得太好，远离所有的困难，奉上需要的一切，他只会开始怨东怨西，不会大杀四方。

让你的孩子哭哭吧，让他们摔跤吧，让他们面对困难。些许苦难其实有益健康。要站在他们身后支持他们，而不是站在他们面前挡风遮雨。

Anjana Iyer

Here are the other points

1. Men are always and always considered to be superior. This attitude will never change

2. Parents will always think their daughter is born only to get her married off.

3. IIT or IIM is the only place to study

3.1 engineering is the only stream for you. Everything else is only to fool you

4. The old lady gossip.

The point of gossip will be the kids of the other lady who is not present there

我在下面列了另外几点不一样的：

1. 父母都重男轻女，以男子为尊。这种态度永远也无法扭转。

2. 父母都觉得女儿的出生只是为了嫁人。

3. 印度理工学院或印度管理学院才是唯一的学校

3.1工程学是唯一可以学习的专业。其他专业都是骗人的。

4. 老妇人总爱说长道短。

八卦的中心总是其他不在场的女人的孩子。

•      Treating film stars as heroes. They’re not.

•喜欢购买豪车，但有可能负担不起维修和保险费用。他们也许并不需要这些车。

•打击有能力干大事的人。如果不能鼓励这些人，起码也别打击他们啊。

•      Discouraging a person with entrpreneural mindset and then complaining about lack of jobs.

•      Buying costly pair of jeans for Rs. 5000 from malls and then negotiating with a poor local vendor for Rs.5.

•阻碍富有创业精神的人，然后又抱怨没有工作机会。

•在商场花5000卢比购买昂贵的牛仔裤也不心疼，回头却会跟贫穷的小贩为了5卢比讨价还价。

To defame India in every possible way on getting a chance.. Well every country and its citizens has their own "mistakes" but why should I highlight in front of the world "the biggest mistake that an Indian makes? " ?

真是一有机会就想尽一切办法诋毁印度啊…好吧，每个国家及其公民都有自己的“错误”，但我为什么要对着全世界强调“印度人犯了什么最大的错误” ？

Digvijay Singh

The biggest mistakes made by few Indians are that they care a lot about what the society thinks about them.

Before they do something, they will assume what the society, their relatives say about them and then they make any decision.

少数印度人犯过的最大错误是，太过在意其他人对自己的看法。

他们会在做任何事情之前，假想全社会、亲戚等人会对他们说什么，才会做决定。

For example, a friend of my mine lives alone and wants to get some extra money. So he decides to work at McDonalds. I don't see how that can be degrading. His dad told him and I quote "What will I tell your relatives that you're working at McDonalds? What face will I show them?"

举个例子，我有个朋友自己独居，想多赚点钱。所以他决定去麦当劳工作。我没觉得这有什么好丢人的。但他爸爸跟他说，我引用他的原话：“我该怎么跟你的亲戚说你在麦当劳工作？在他们面前我还有什么脸面？”

I was so disappointed by this. I mean, why can't one just do what they like without caring what others will talk about them? Do those people wake up every morning to please the society? Why can't people just mind their own business and live in peace and live others in peace?

听了他的话，我很失望。我的意思是，为什么一个人就不能做点自己喜欢的事呢，不用在意别人会说什么呀？他们每天早上醒来就是为了取悦别人吗？为什么大家不能管好自己的事，跟别人和平相处呢？

Parth Savani

It is not appropriate to generalize and say that all Indians make the same mistakes, as people's behaviors and actions vary widely across the diverse population of India. However, there are some common mistakes that some Indians may make, which could include:

一概而论，说所有印度人都犯了同样的错误，这么说并不合适，因为印度人那么多，各自行为举止都差别很大。但有些印度人可能都犯过一些常见的错误，包括：

Underestimating the importance of education: Education is essential for personal growth and development, and for building a better future for oneself and the society. Unfortunately, some Indians may prioritize other factors such as family traditions, societal pressure, or financial constraints over education, which could lead to missed opportunities and potential regrets.

低估教育的重要性：教育对个人的成长和发展至关重要，对为自己和社会创造更美好的未来至关重要。不幸的是，有些印度人可能会优先考虑其他因素，如家庭传统、社会压力或经济条件，可能会因此错过机会，留有遗憾。

Lack of awareness about health and hygiene: Despite the progress made in recent years, some Indians still lack awareness about health and hygiene practices, such as washing hands regularly, maintaining a healthy diet, and getting regular medical check-ups. This could lead to preventable health issues and illnesses.

缺乏健康和卫生意识：尽管近年来这个情况有所改善，但有些印度人仍然缺乏健康和卫生习惯的意识，例如经常洗手、保持健康饮食和定期体检。这可能导致可预防的健康问题和疾病。

Corruption: Corruption is a prevalent issue in India and can be seen in various forms, from bribery to embezzlement. It affects all aspects of society and hinders progress and development.

腐败：腐败在印度是一个普遍问题，从贿赂到受贿，无处不在。它影响了社会的方方面面，阻碍了社会的进步和发展。

Discrimination: Discrimination based on caste, religion, gender, or economic status is still prevalent in some parts of India. This could lead to societal and economic disparities and a lack of equal opportunities.

歧视：在印度某些地区，因为种姓、宗教、性别或经济地位导致的歧视仍然普遍存在。这可能导致社会和经济的巨大差距，也导致缺乏平等。

Lack of environmental awareness: India faces significant environmental challenges, such as air and water pollution, deforestation, and climate change. Unfortunately, some Indians may not be aware of the impact of their actions on the environment and may not prioritize environmental sustainability.

缺乏环保意识：印度面临着严重的环境问题，如空气污染、水污染、森林砍伐和气候变化。很可惜，一些印度人可能没有意识到他们的行为对环境的影响，也不重视环境的可持续性。

It's important to note that these mistakes are not unique to India and can be found in other countries as well. Additionally, not all Indians make these mistakes, and many are actively working to address these issues and make positive changes.

值得注意的是，这些并不是印度独有的问题，其他国家也存在这些问题。此外，并非所有印度人都会犯这类错误，许多人正在努力解决这些问题并做出积极的改变。
